With the recent significant rebound in the cryptocurrency market, BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes self-mockingly posted about 'selling low and buying high' while loudly replenishing his positions. This move drew cold sarcasm from high-leverage trader James Wynn, directly pointing out that this is typical FOMO behavior.
Arthur Hayes significantly took profits in early August, selling various cryptocurrencies including Ethereum (ETH) and ENA, and publicly predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum would experience a pullback. Unexpectedly, the market rebounded right around the time he posted, and a week later, Hayes publicly admitted his mistake and mocked himself, saying 'I will never take profits again', while repurchasing ETH and other tokens.

According to data compiled by on-chain analyst Ai Yi, Hayes has bought tokens such as ETH, ETHFI, LDO, PENDLE, and ENA in the last three days, with a total holding value of $9.801 million, currently showing a floating profit of $180,000.
However, high-leverage trader James Wynn is unimpressed by Hayes' operations, stating on social media platform X:
'Arthur sells at the low and buys at the high. No matter who you are, you should think for yourself. No one can predict market trends, but the way I make the most money is by doing the opposite of what most people do. When he aggressively adds to his position again, that is an immediate signal to short.'
Wynn then added, 'I mean no disrespect to him, but this is typical FOMO behavior. My trading record will be made public soon.'
In response to this comment, Hayes directly retorted on social media:
'Quick, post your Hyperliquid address, let me see how impressive you are.'
Post your HYPE address, pretty please. Let’s see how much of a badass you are.

Wynn was once dubbed a 'legendary trader' by some media, but in recent months, he has executed several failed trades, leading to doubts about his trading abilities in the community.
